Hard-to-type character in computing. This comes from the Jargon File, many of whose terms are quite unattestable. Equinox 11:36, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cited, I think. They're all clear uses, but two are "cokebottle", one is "coke bottle" and one is "CokeBottle". The sources are a little fuzzy, since they come out of snippet view; I put Adventures in Microland on order, but that would probably be better verified from the Byte magazine, which I believe can be found online.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have Adventures in Microland... somewhere. But I did a Usenet search and found a third cite for the spelling "cokebottle", as well as many more. "coke-bottle" and possibly "CokeBottle" are also citable. (Try "cokebottle emacs" at Google Groups to get mostly this sense.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:38, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
